GERRY WEBER International AG had a brilliant start to the current financial year and finished the first quarter of 2007/2008 with new record figures in both sales and earnings. Coming in at EUR 121.7 million, Group sales were up 14.4 percent on the previous year’s EUR 106.4 million. All earnings ratios increased at a disproportionate rate. “These results demonstrate that we continue to outdistance our competitors. Very few players in our industry have been able to match our growth momentum since we have taken full control of the value chain from design development to retail sales through our HOUSES OF GERRY WEBER”, commented Managing Board Chairman Gerhard Weber.
